A Simplistic Review: Ma (2019)


There's nothing like a slow BURN. Just enough time to get some fire in your belly while you wait for everything to really start popping off. That's the delicious BURN I got from Octavia Spencer and "Ma" this weekend.

First thing's first, I'm always a fan of actors or actresses that have won big awards, namely Oscars, and continue to work in the genre field. Spencer looks like she is having the time of her life playing the Veterinarian-turned-psychopath, but there is some meat to this story that cribs ideas from flicks like "Carrie" "The People Under the Stairs" and maybe even "Fatal Attraction."

"Ma" BURNS the house down in it's final 20 or so minutes and creates a memorable new heavy that rivals the likes of Alex Forrest and Anne Wilkes.
